DRAWINGS & THOUGHTS for two performances
Ipaint portraits whenever I feel the need to get to know better a person whose integrity is beyond question. I detest “sacred monsters” who are only monsters and not sacred at all... Greece is full of them...
Tributes are usually made after a person’s physical death, ignoring Cavafy’s saying, “Do not believe only what you see”, as well as the fact that human existence, beyond its material dimension, is also spiritual, emotional, and energetic. As far as I know, only very rarely is a human being granted the “sense” of life after physical death...
Sergio Blanc
My acquaintance with the work of Vangelis Theodoropoulos began only in 2025 with “Thebes Land” by Sergio Blanco, and in 2026 with the revue “I shall tell them to you”, in which a good friend of mine, Giouli, participated...
As for the first production, I will limit myself to the question if the success of a play should be measured by “sold-out” performances and by the fact that it has had “more than twenty productions in an equal number of countries around the world, not including its participation in international festivals”???
Let me rephrase the question in simpler terms: What percentage of people with free will and critical mind attend high-quality theatre around the world??? How many people like that are to be found in Greece, for example???
Let me ask the question once again: Are we living in a country of wise people without having realized it???
And if the answer is yes, then what are the reasons -not only in Greece, but worldwide-for the global social deadlock that keeps taking us from bad to worse, and then to the absolute worst???
In the revue “I shall tell them to you”, much is said about ignorance. But it is no longer ignorance when we all know that a mistake repeated over and over again, it is no longer ignorance or error; it is a choice. So, do we choose to live within immorality, lies according to Mark Carney, stupidity according to Evangelos Lembesis, and foolishness in the words of Albert Einstein???
In closing, I would like to underline the well-known saying that “the sins of parents/politicians tyrannize their children,” as well as Manolis Anagnostakis’ remarkable statement that “words must be like nails firmly hammered in place so that the wind cannot carry them away”...
Michael Gorbachev (1931-2022)...
And let me answer, once again, the obvious question: what is the problem, and which is the solution? The problem is that our children must stop being abused at home and at school. The solution is the immediate introduction of Emotional Education as a subject at every level of schooling, along with the establishment in every municipality and community of Schools for parents and teachers, aimed at developing assertive behavior, which, as is well known, is neither passive, nor aggressive, as is so often the case. Peace (both inner and outer) is not an ideology; it is a necessity for the survival of Humanity Mikhail Gorbachev (1931–2022)...
